We’re going exotic today with our Style Diary. Meet T’wana from the Caribbean.
My name is Tβwana Skelton, Iβm originally from a small Caribbean island called Tortola located in the British Virgin Islands but I live in Orlando, FL. Most of my free time is spent consuming anything fashion related.Β This is why I started my blog.Β I love attending fashion shows and events (big or small it really doesnβt matter).Β Β My ultimate goal would be to one day attend Mercedes Benz Fashion week in NY and be able to write about it. When Iβm not scouring the net and stocking up on fashion magazines, Iβm cozying up with my Nook color to catch up on my reading.Β I also love to write (my degree is in Journalism) and sing to the top of my lungs until my hun says Iβm driving him crazyβ¦. LOL.Β Then I revert back to the fashion world because Iβm such a busy body, I have to stay occupied.Β Iβve also been doing a lot of DIY projects lately.Β I figure why buy it when I can make it!

-When it comes to dressing I consider myself a mood dresser.Β I really just grab whatever catches my eyes that day regardless of weather or location.Β Yes, Iβm that girl wearing heels on a rainy day!Β I rarely plan outfits.Β I love mixing edgy styles with girly pieces. Iβm also really into vintage style but somehow I always end up buying the trendier pieces so Iβm working on purchasing pieces that are more timeless but yet still easy to pair with stuff I already own.Β 80βs style is my fave because of its fearless appeal.Β
–Which brands or designers ‘speak to you’ the most?Β I have serious obsessions with Zara, Urban Outfitters, ASOS and BooHoo.Β Iβm drawn to stores that arenβt afraid to fill their racks/websites with colorful clothing and patterns.Β Iβm a huge sucker for color and details.Β Zara and ASOS are masters at this.
Β –Any beauty secrets? Β My one and only beauty secret is confidence.Β Confidence in what you wear and how you look will create a more lasting impression than the outfit youβre wearing.Β Yves Saint Laurent once said “I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence.” So if you find a designer or brand that makes you feel confident, stick with it.Β It doesnβt matter what everyone else is wearing.Β What matters is how you feel in what youβre wearing.
Β -Favourite make-up brands.Β Iβll pass on this one!Β Iβm still experimenting with the makeup process.
Β -What is the most beautiful thing about you?Β Iβm sooo shy when it comes to self praise but I would have to sayβ¦*thinking*β¦my legs.Β I accentuate them by simply showing them off all the time.Β I always run to the shorts rack before I check out anything else.Β I just love shorts or anything that doesnβt cover my legs. I grew up in a place where itβs summer all year long so that was a major contributor to my love for shorts. Β
Β
–If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional. with whom would it be and why?Β Alexander McQueen!Β Of course not as he currently is, Iβm talking about when he was in his prime as a designer.Β His creations are nothing short of amazing and genius.Β One day with the ability to think creatively as he did is all I need so a week would be a dream come true.
Β -Your favourite music track would beβ¦?Β As in one track?Β Before I answer this you should know that I own an iPad, 2 Ipods, 2Β iPhonesΒ and a laptop all filled with music.Β Now that I think of it, answering this is as hard as walking into Zara and not buying anything.Β If I must, Iβll have to say my favorite track right now is still βSet Fire To The Rainβ by Adele.
Β
Β –What is your favourite trend right now?Β I really love the NEON and pastels trend and I have a closet filled with clothes to prove it.Β =)Β I just love it how fashion designers and bloggers are taking risks and pairing bright colors together.Β
Β
Β
–Comment: βIf you got it, flaunt itβ…If you got it, flaunt a positive attitude.Β Thereβs no one else out there that can do you better than you. The world is becoming such a negative place so letβs brighten it up with positivity and kindness.Β Of course while being fashionable! π
Β -If your life was a movie, what would be its title and who would play you? Β βJourney of the shopaholicβ Iβll play myself.Β Yeah I have a serious problem that needs to be documented by someone in hopes of helping others.Β Itβll probably end with me saying thereβs only one guaranteed life for us, enjoy it and do what makes you happy.
–My top 5 must haves:
1) A sick pair of shorts
2) A trench vest in khaki, olive & black
3) Alexander Wang heels
4) Jeans that flatter (Zara jeans for me)
& 5) Money in the bank to buy all these thingsβ¦=).Β Ok Ok if you must have a 5th it has to be denim tops in every shade and style. All these items can be paired with anything and can transition from season to season.Β
Β
–Your house is in flames, what one item would you save out of your closet and why?Β I think I suffered a minor panic attack! One item?? I just canβt!Β Letβs seeβ¦*thinking*β¦my Alexander Wang heels but I just have to go back in for my Jeffrey Campbell Litas and while Iβm at it Iβll grab my Zara blazers.Β Oh and do I have time to run and get my jewelry armoire?
Β -Your all time fashion icon isβ¦My mom!Β Hands down!Β Sheβs been a boutique owner and fashion show host for most of my younger life. Iβm almost positive this is where it started for me.Β Growing up, my mom had a closet to rival some of the best.Β I didnβt get into fashion right away because I was too busy climbing trees and being a tom-boy but apparently I was soaking it all up subconciouslyβ¦LOL
Β -Your favourite quote/sayingΒ “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe.Β Nuff said!
–You can visit my
-personal style blog atΒ HeelsNposes.blogspot.com.Β
